Hanson's lawyer expected to seek bail

Pauline Hanson's lawyer is expected to seek her release from prison on bail while an appeal is heard against her fraud conviction and three-year jail sentence.

A representative of Hanson's lawyer, Chris Nyst, filed the appeal in Brisbane late this afternoon.

It claims the trial judge made numerous errors, including her decision to allow the Crown not to call former One Nation director David Oldfield as a witness, despite doing so at Hanson's committal hearing, and allowing prejudicial evidence against Hanson.

The notice also says Hanson could not have had a fair trial, due to the media's treatment of more fraud allegations against her and publicity surrounding the deregistration of One Nation and the defection of 11 One Nation state MP's.

Mr Nyst is now expected to apply to the Supreme Court for bail on Hanson's behalf, pending the appeal's outcome.

Meanwhile, One Nation co-founder David Ettridge, who was also jailed for three years, is yet to appeal.

Moscow's words and actions — including the alleged poisoning of a former spy — are not the results of random aggression but rather fall into distinct patterns that can help us anticipate Russia's next moves under Vladimir Putin.
